30 in a minute= 1800 in an hour. divide by 20 to find number of ml= 900
90 not 900.
Phew! I could have had you up on a manslaughter charge there
1hr= 60 minutes x 30= 1800 divided by 20 =90 ml( I think)

thanks guys!!!
Working it out differently:
30 drops per min = 1.5 ml/min
1.5 ml * 60 = 90 ml
One of us is a factor of 10 out.
Ah! it's Sandy, only dividing by 2 instead of 20.
